Join us for the annual Council Pinewood Derby! This exciting event is open to all scouts and families in the council, offering a day filled with fun, creativity, and friendly competition. Each Den will have a class, and there will also be an Open Division for SBSA, Venturers, non-Scout siblings, adults, alumni, etc.
Come out and enjoy Camp Decorah like never before. Run & Bike throughout the property and end with a family fun day after!
Always free for brand new registered Cub Scouts, this event is a great way to see Camp Decorah before the winter and learn some of the many opportunities that Cub Scouting has to offer.
Every October, Camp Decorah is transformed from a pleasant camping facility to a place that is taken over by zombies, ghosts, goblins, and many other creatures of the night. The night starts with some great activities such as a haunted hay ride, spooky stories, haunted house, carnival games and much more. In the morning you are treated to a hot pancake breakfast followed by a costume contest, BB gun, archery, and fun field games. Come one, come all to the annual Spook-o-Ree.
